The Impact of Global Partnerships: Driving Innovation Forward 

All Resources / Blogs

In the world of industrial lubrication and fluid management, progress is rarely the work of a single company or country; it’s the result of visionaries, innovators, and changemakers joining forces across borders. For us here at EPT Clean Oil™, global partnerships are more than an inspiring concept; they are the driving force behind real, measurable improvements in Lubricant Chemistry Management. 

From North America to South America, from Asia to the Middle East, a movement is taking shape—one that’s redefining how we protect and preserve high-value assets. Around the world, we’re leading with education, arming operators, engineers, and reliability teams with the knowledge to prevent problems before they start. Because when you understand the chemistry of oil degradation, you know how to stop it in its tracks. 

Oil degradation is a challenge as old as industrial machinery itself. Once oil enters service, heat and oxygen initiate the cycle of contamination—breaking down molecules, creating acids, and generating deposits that threaten equipment reliability. Left unchecked, it’s a problem that can drain budgets and disrupt operations.  

“That’s why now is the time to act. Not tomorrow. Not when the budget allows. Today.” 

The technology, expertise, and partnerships are here waiting to be leveraged. And those who step aboard this innovation train aren’t just keeping pace with the industry; they’re helping shape its future. 

The only question now is, are you on board? 

Innovation in Action: Spotlight on Our Global Partners 

While the journey of EPT Clean Oil spans over 30 years, our experience has revealed a significant gap in industry alignment. Our mission is to ‘teach the world a better way’ by redefining how lubricants for critical rotating and compressor assets are viewed and maintained. We provide a comprehensive view of Lubricant Chemistry Management and passionately advocate for the lubricants that protect your most vital machinery.  

Across the world, our partners are educating and advocating for Lubricant Chemistry Management, and each success story is a testament to what happens when expertise, technology, and insights come together. These are real-world examples of Lubricant Chemistry Management in action. Behind every success is a Partner that has embarked on a journey to teach the world a better way, and we are eager to share their stories with you. Hopefully, they will inspire you to stop and ask: Is your lubricant chemistry managed? Maybe it’s time to take action. Lubricant Chemistry Management is the way forward, helping hundreds around the world eliminate downtime and achieve our shared goal of net zero by 2050! 

This movement is fully supported by our diverse product range, world-class support, and expert knowledge gained from over 160 years of combined industry experience, as demonstrated through our ACE™ Assessment.  

Here are stories from seven corners of the world, proof that this movement is not only growing, it’s delivering results you can measure, see, and trust.
